I am the author and editor of dozens of books in various genres including software, art, and philosophy. After editing 20 books written by others, and then writing and publishing 18 of my own technical books through a major publishing house, I now wear all of these hats myself when writing, editing, illustrating, and self-publishing my passion-project books (9 to date).
I offer you my experience as proofreader, copy editor, technical editor, designer/illustrator, and fellow author to serve the needs of your projects. The way I like to do editorial work is to start by carefully reading and leaving detailed comments in your manuscript—using either Google Docs' suggesting mode or Microsoft Word's track changes features (your choice)—and submit my edits for your review. We then schedule a time to go over anything and everything you have questions about face-to-face over Zoom. For illustrations, we start by discussing and agreeing on your specific design requirements. Then I create the illustrations, send them to you for review, and we iterate until you are happy with the end results. If you dream of being a published author, I can help you attain your goals with outstanding quality and professionalism. -Scott Onstott
